Beyond Driven Radio

Hosted by David Johnston and Dave Smith

The fitness industry in general, and the bodybuilding world specifically, have
experienced a revolution of sorts over the past decade. For better or worse,
everything has changed, and seems destined to continue changing at an everfaster
pace.

"Beyond Driven Radio", hosted by David Johnston and Dave Smith, is a weekly
podcast delving into the philosophical, psychological and sociological
underpinnings of the fitness industry, and those who choose to live this lifestyle.
We focus on current hot topics widely debated in the industry, and how they tie to
our motivations, as well as the choices that we as individuals make.
From extreme drug use, to the fetishistic side of the sport; from the devaluing of
the pro card, to the "everybody's a champion" mentality, and all things in
between, all legitimate thought and intelligent analysis is welcomed at Beyond
Driven Radio: Bodybuilding's First Stand.
